As a project administrator, you can define which Test Environments are available to your project.

Test Environments can be either imported to a project from the globally available Test Environments or created directly in the project.

However, Test Environments are always managed within the scope of a project; those are the ones that will be seen by your project.

Test Environments created locally in a project are also created in the globally available Test Environments, defined within the Jira-wide settings detailed in Global Settings: Test Environments.

By default, no Test Environment will be automatically added to your project; they always have to be added explicitly.
